Remember, if you got a fever, the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!!! Thanks everyone!
It’s hard to make noise in mittens and gloves! Fans, family and teammates around the world know that it’s tradition to cheer on the winter games’ athletes by ringing Alpine Cowbells. Their distinctive clamor lets the athletes know they’re being supported by the crowds.
Features Include:
- A virtual, working, national flag-emblazoned cowbell
- Twitter feed that follows hundreds of athlete tweets
- Real-time medal tally by country
- Live Wall to share photos and texts of your experience with your friends on Facebook and other Cowbell2010 users around the world
It’s pretty amazing for me to see these guys play a game of GOSK8. Looking forward to seeing the rematch in advanced.
“The New Faces of GOSK8”
GOSK8 is proud to welcome onboard pro skateboarders Erik Ellington (Deathwish skateboards) and Geoff Rowley (Flip skateboards) who will serve as the new face of the company.
GOSK8 is a new iPhone application/tool for physically playing the traditional game of skate. The developers of GOSK8 have gone to great lengths to spice the game up by adding three different skill levels (basic, medium, advanced) and four obstacle options (ledge, manual, transition, flat-ground), making it the only skate application of its kind.
Rowley - “GOSK8 takes the game of S.K.A.T.E. to the next level. There are so many options with the different levels and obstacles that anyone at any level can play it.”
Ellington - “When I first downloaded GOSK8 to my iPhone I didn’t expect it to be so sick. There are hundreds of tricks depending on what level and obstacle you choose. What I really liked most is that you can play by yourself or against another skater. This is no “sit on your ass” game. You actually have to get out there and skate with GOSK8.”
Geoff and Erik will be battling it out in a series of games using the GOSK8 app. Stay tuned for videos hitting the web soon.
